[MOVED] Red Hat Satellite or Spacewalk ?
[Note: The Groups area will soon be archived. This topic has been moved to the new community discussion area, so head over and check it out.]
Can anybody describe the difference between the two ? Which one should be used in case most of our systems are RH ?
And what about the future/roadmap of both products ?

Hi Przemek,
http://spacewalk.redhat.com
It is the upstream community project from which the Red Hat Network Satellite product is derived.
If you you are one of them - the answer is easy - Satellite.
Both will work fine.
I'm sorry I'm not adding any technical information - however I think you need to start with above. Once you understand your business / support model, check what you need it for (does it meet your requirements?). Only then you can go and compare it feature vs feature (spacewalk has it more - another question is - do you need it?)
Sorry for formatting - I was trying to change it but it seems safari with this build in editor are not 100%
I think the easiest way is to think about Satellite as Red Hat Enterprise and Spacewalk as Fedora.
Expectation is that what’s the best, desired and working fine in Spacewalk – will be implemented in future versions of Satellite.
To add to what Artur mentioned -
From the spacewalk FAQ you can refer "What's the difference between Satellite and Spacewalk?"
Regarding the roadmap, you can refer the presentations from Red Hat Summit 2013. I think this would be very helpful for you to get an understanding roadmap of the product. You can refer :
Hope this helps to get some clarify on roadmap and differences between Satellite & Spacewalk
